Cadveric Study of Superficial Palmar Arch
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 3
Abstract
Awareness of the anatomical variations of the blood supply of the hand is necessary for the anatomist but also for surgeons when considering hand surgeries. The objective of this study was to find the incidence of anatomical variations of the superficial palmar arch and describe any anatomical variation. 18 cadavers were observed for this during routine dissections of MBBS graduates in Andhra Medical College, Visakhapatnam. In one of the cadavers there is no superficial palmar arch but the ulnar artery alone is seen suplying the medial 3 digits. And the superficial palmar branch of radial artery never joined the ulnar or niether of its branches joined to complete the arch. But in turn the superficial palmar branch of Radial artery supplied the thumb and index finger. Knowledge of vascular anamolies of the hand should be borne in mind to avoid iatrogenic injuries during surgery of the hand.
